arrow for stepMa_v7.2

Added auto digit calculation for brokers with extra digits, not totally sure but this could be the problem.

Hello, sorry for my poor English. I am using this page STEPMA_V7.2 indicator. I would like to ask a fellow programmer, if I could put in place of the line drawn, in each color change put an arrow. thank you very much

 
xlsander:
I have a problem with the Step MA -- I have run this with one broker and it was all fine and then switched brokers and suddenly the MA shows completely different although the SAME settings - I can switch within the same MT4 from one acc at one broker to the other acc at the other broker and the settings of the StepMA remain identical but show HUGE difference - although the chart and pricing looks pretty identical too!a and the new broker tells me they have no specific settings for the indicator to not work or work "wrong" anyone an idea please? or can refer to someone who would know?

Added auto digit calculation for brokers with extra digits, not totally sure but this could be the problem.

StepMa_v2.7a repaints colour and changes buffer values after close of Bar

Hi,

This concerns the use of StepMa_v2.7a.

I haven't looked into the code yet, but noticed a peculiar thing:

the indicator repaints the color of the closed bar relative to the color the current bar is getting. When it is red, the closed bar's color turns red, and vv.

That makes the past look too good (e.g. you have all little zigzag whipsaw from bar to bar, they stay in the color they are having, while in reality they first have a different color).

I stored the values of the first 3 indic buffers with an EA over several bars (with shift = 1 in the current bar) and indeed the values change for the closed bar.

The line itself doesn't change.

As in the picture below, all the little sawtooth red "up"-lines first were green (and indeed not while the bar was forming, but after the bar had closed)

Hello Hina,

Got it partially working seems to work correctly on modes 1 and 2 but mode 3 only showing 2 colors instead of 3, also as the on chart indicator the color mode will have to be greater than zero, otherwise the histo will only show one color.

 

Dear Mr Tools,

Thank you very much for very quick reply
